The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1887-04-22

and the market closed at identically
the same figures as on yesterday. The
bull leaders were in the pit at the
opening, and their open bidding for
property caused q quick advance for
May delivery from safe to Sale. The
market reacted TO SAC and ruled steady
at fraction over that figure for the
remainder of the day. One Of the
marked features of the days trading
was the free buying for June delivery,
that option advancing to Sac, and
closed for the day at $3.50, or within &c
OF the price OF May. Toe July option
WAS also largely traded 10, but ad'
vanced only fraction. Corn was not
disposed to show much OF a movement,
3Sac being a popular price for May.
The feature OF this market continues
to be the withdrawal from store main
ly for the purpose of making room
for wheat. The session closed easy.
